Theme & Lyrics ✍

I ’d argue that death metal is synonymous with controversy. Dying Fetus is a controversial, insensitive name.  So, with DF being a death metal band, the point is, controversy is the expectation.  Capping off the controversy is “Skull Fucked,” which appears on the band’s album, 💿 Purification Through Violence.  Purification, huh? Wow!

Put two and two together, and you have your definition of what it means to be ‘skull effed,’ 😬.   If not, (1) check out Urban Dictionary, the definitive slang source or (2) simply listen to/read the lyrics of this unsettling song.  For good measure, the song, which features an aggressive backdrop, commences with the endearing lyrics, “I hate you motherfuckers.” Charming, and it doesn’t end there, folks! Throw in the optimistic, sunny lyrics “Hating, ripping, tearing, scraping /… Mangling, fucking, choking, dying…” – you get the idea.  Making things worse is the insensitivity shown to women:

“Looking for pussy
That’s all that’s on my mind
Sluts that are ready for fucking
Ready for sucking
Ready to die when I’m done
Copulate and kill without reason
I never need ‘em
As long as they make me cum
Bitches have no power of reason
Never believe ‘em, just kill and fuck...”

Wow… Speechless…

Final Thoughts 💭 

Honestly, the controversy of this record speaks for itself.  To recap: Dying Fetus = controversial band name. “Skull Fucked” = controversial, unapologetic song title and subject matter. The lyrics = outlandish, insensitive, violent, etc.  Controversial to the core, essentially.
